I had my annual performance review at work this week. That was fantastic. I'm always very stressed beforehand, but the review went well. My boss is a great guy. I work hard, so I'm glad it's noticed. It really all comes down to feeling like I owe honest work for the pay I receive. I'm not content to get by with the minimum.
This weekend we got to play host to the only family we're really close to. It's been nice. They've been having some stress, so we planned to make things very relaxed for them--we're making sure they don't have to worry about anything if we can help it.
My brother and I also finally made something happen we'd talked about. My family has a great internet connection, and my brother and I use a small remote-access server for a few minor functions. He has one located at his home, and he's on a DSL connection, which is great. Ours is a fiber-optic connection, so it turns out to be significantly faster than DSL. So, we grabbed some RAM and a switched out a hard drive and made an old machine into a local server here to do some of the jobs taking advantage of the excellent connection. It's all noncommercial stuff and small, so nothing powerful was needed. I'm excited to have it working.
